Reader Survey 2012: Best Restaurant to Dine at With a Large Group

This question comes up for me now and then, so I thought it would be good for the survey. I’m not talking about a business meeting, just a big group of friends. I can see why any of these got the vote, but Toro Bravo received mine.

One evening I made a reservation for a large group. The people who were already at the table took forever – an hour past when they should have been out the door. The staff kept apologizing and kept us informed, even buying a round of drinks. When we finally were seated, a good selection of appetizers were spread across the table, all comped. In spite of the wait, which was out of their control, I will always have a soft spot in my heart for TB. The service was perfect.
